Allison, a top Fermi assistant, in a recent article: "All of us in the laboratory knew that with the advent of the chain reaction the world would never be the same again...
...Seitz and Princeton's Eugene P. Wigner devised a method for calculating the forces that bind atoms together in a metal, an application of new theory to solid-state physics. Later, Seitz wrote The Modern Theory of Solids, the first comprehensive survey of solid-state physics, and made significant contribution to the development of such solid-state devices as transistors...
...level policymakers who boss Oak Ridge may have come to some such decision. One sign: 35 students from universities and industrial corporations were at large last week in the tightly guarded Clinton Laboratories, learning innermost secrets from Director E. P. Wigner.
